Brokerversity reports 513% spike in commercial and asset finance course completions
Completions of commercial and asset finance courses on Brokerversity, the training platform by aggregator LMG, have risen sharply following the launch of its upgraded broker software, MyCRM Diversified.
The company reported a 513% increase in course completions over the past month, attributing the spike to heightened broker interest in expanding beyond traditional home lending.
MyCRM Diversified, released in March, integrates residential, commercial, and asset finance functions into a single platform. The system includes digital application tools, built-in calculators, and automated credit documentation, allowing brokers to transition into new product areas more efficiently.
According to LMG’s head of operations – broker education, Deanna Garrasi (pictured above), the tool is helping advisers meet a broader range of client needs. “With MyCRM Diversified opening new doors for businesses, Brokerversity is where brokers and admin sharpen their skills and step confidently into the future of diversified business,” she said.
“We’ve prioritised delivering content that’s relevant, informative and engaging, ensuring it provides real-world value and enhances the learning experience.”
Nearly 96% of lessons started in commercial and asset finance over the past 30 days were completed — an indicator, Garrasi noted, that the content is closely aligned with brokers’ daily work.
On the eve of Easter, Brokerversity logged a record 427 completions of commercial and asset finance lessons in a single day. The platform offers four specialised courses: Get Asset Finance Ready, Asset Finance Referrer to Writer Course, Get Commercial Ready, and Lodging a Commercial Deal in MyCRM.
Brisbane-based Kelly Brothers Finance has grown to a team of 12 in just three years. Co-director Tom Kelly said diversification has been key to the firm’s strategy, and that Brokerversity plays a central role in team development.
“If you’re talking to a client about a car loan, equipment finance or commercial asset but don’t have strong knowledge around different lending, it puts doubt in their mind,” Kelly said. “That doubt may encourage them to engage another broker for their asset finance or commercial lending needs, putting the relationship at risk.
“The diversification offering is a no-brainer to lean into and helps our efforts to protect and make the most of our loan book.”
For LMG executive director and chief executive Ewen Stafford, the platform is about more than functionality — it supports a strategic shift in the broker channel. “It isn’t just a tech upgrade,” he said. “It’s about cementing LMG as the home of the diversified broker. It’s now easier than ever to do more for your clients while unlocking new revenue streams.”
